    Sleeping Beauty nearly done

    All that’s left is sewing the collar in place, and putting a few snaps in on the back to hold it down. And i need to iron it. Chase is painting my crown today so I can sew it into my wig tonight. I’m pretty pleased with how it’s turned out.

    Sleeping Beauty progress

    I ended up being sick yesterday and stayed home from work, but I managed to get a little bit done. Since then the chiffon skirt has mostly been hemmed (sewing machine messed up after finishing the length of the bottom so just the pieces going up the front haven’t been finished. I usually take it as a sign to stop…

    Sleeping Beauty dress

    working while house sitting sucks… I’m stuck on Sleeping Beauty because I need a bunch of stuff from home. I need my lighter interfacing, the rest of my blue fabric, my curlers for the wig, and my white thread… I thought I brought everything I needed but of course I didn’t… now I’m stuck on every part until I get…

    Halloween Plans

    Sleeping Beauty is coming along, I’m *really* hoping to have it finished by next weekend, but if it’s not finished, oh well. I’ve got the dress basically put together, I need to attach the sleeves, attach the skirt to the bodice section and hem it, and get the zipper put in. I’m hoping to do most of those tonight. For…

    Indy the Wonder Dog

    This is what happens when I organize my fabric and realise I have enough scraps to make a silly costume for my dog. This was the best pic I could get of her in it. We’re going to the St Jude Showcase of Dogs this weekend… and I was going to take her in her superdog costume. But then I…

    Nashville Photoshoot & Halloween

    We’re home. We had a lot of fun this weekend, like I said. It’s going to take me a while to get all the photos up, though, there’s so many! He did send me two random Wonder Woman shots – I uploaded one of them. We shot WW at the Parthenon, like I said – and there were a LOT…

    Black Canary Photoshoot Preview

    The photoshoots went great today, from what I’ve seen on Chase’s computer I’m really pleased, especially with the Wonder Woman shots. I went ahead and uploaded one of my favourite Black Canary ones — I should have the rest up on my flickr throughout the week.

    Wizard scan

    I didn’t get around to scanning the magazine last night – but thanks to tetsuyacasshern on LOH I can at least give a sneak peek 🙂 Still going to scan my copy, so I’ll post a better version probably when I start posting pics from the photoshoot today. Speaking of which, we’re off!

    Dcon Rooms & Trooping

    Dragoncon 2009 rooms booked as of 11pm last night LOL. Apparently everyone started calling at 11/midnight Atlanta time – Chase said the woman on the phone said they were swamped with calls. We are headed to Nashville this weekend – Monday we are doing some promo stuff for the hockey game our garrison is doing in November – I guess…

    Dragoncon 2008 Costume wrapup

    1. Giselle I was really pleased with the updates to Giselle. An hour’s worth of work turned it from a costume I really didn’t care about to something I was really happy with. I actually wish I’d tossed it on on Monday at the con as well. I might wear it sometime at Halloween if it’s not too cold out.…

    Dragoncon 2008 – sunday!

    Sunday we slept in, then I put on Poison Ivy (I wanted to rewear Zatanna, but my feet said “NO!”) and Chase and I went and had a little lunch. Then Chase remembered he was supposed to go to the clonetroopers.net lunch LOL. So he went to that, and I met up with Ash and we went shopping for a…

She came over to help us finish getting ready that morning – I was getting Starfire on for the very first…

    Dragoncon 2008 – thurs and friday!

    Hey guys… sorry I haven’t posted in a few days!! Dragoncon was a blast, as always. I managed to come home with a nasty head cold so I’ve been kinda in-and-out of it since then. I finished uploading our photos today, though – had over 1000, almost filled up the memory card, LOL. I think I’ll break up my posts…

    Costume Updates!! and Ame-Comi WW preview

    Sorry I haven’t posted much – we’ve been working pretty much non-stop, trying to finish everything. On friday we found out the guy was not going to finish my wonder woman stuff, either, so we had to swing into action and a figure out a half-decent way to do it outselves. It came out pretty well. The situation just sucks…
